When he looked at Ling Sheng, his eyes and mind were full of her. His affection and gentleness were intoxicating, and one could not help but indulge in his gaze. One could only hate the fact that he was not looking at them. If one could receive such a gaze from him, it would be worth it even if one died.
However, the workers had also seen the beautiful purple seashell hanging around Third Master Jun’s neck.
Women liked to gossip when they were together.
“Did you see that? The Third Master is wearing a shell.”
“It’s a purple shell, right? Do you think Ling Sheng has one too?”
“Legend has it that lovers with purple shells will be together forever. Indeed, good men always belong to others. Ling Sheng is someone I don’t deserve being envious of.”
“Did you see the way the Third Master looked at Ling Sheng? I really want to drown in his eyes. He’s so affectionate, right?”
“Of course I saw. Ling Sheng is the woman I envy the most. Who spread the rumor that the Third Master was disfigured and disabled? If the Third Master is disfigured, I beg the heavens to open their eyes and let me be disfigured too!”
“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Gu Shen’s expression doesn’t look good. Didn’t news of his relationship with Ling Sheng spread some time ago? Don’t tell me he likes Ling Sheng too!”
“Ling Sheng is a pretty, considerate, and adorable girl. Even a woman like me likes her. It’s normal for men to like her, alright?”
“Gu Shen must be jealous. However, the Third Master is his Third Uncle. Ling Sheng will be his Third Aunt in the future. He…”
Gu Shen let out a cough and shot a cold look at the gossiping women around him. His eyes were cold as he warned them. “If you have time to gossip, why don’t you work hard?”
He liked Ling Sheng? Were they blind? How in the world could they think that he liked Ling Sheng?
There was no way he would like Ling Sheng!
When he turned around to leave, he accidentally saw a woman and a man sitting on a beach chair not far away.
She was small and skinny to begin with, so her body shrank into a ball as she squeezed herself next to the man intimately. He did not know what the man whispered in her ear, but her smile was like a flower, and her chime-like laughter spread far and wide.
His hands, which were hanging by his sides, clenched into fists subconsciously. He felt annoyed and did not want to take another look at them. He left without hesitation.
However, her smile still appeared in front of him. It was sweet and blissful, and it reached her eyes. She looked like an obedient woman—something he had never seen her be before.
“Eat less. Your stomach will swell if you eat too much.” Jun Shiyan had already grabbed her hand and stopped her. Upon seeing the young lady pout in grievance, he coaxed her. “I’ll make coconut milk for you. When the advertisement is done, you can drink iced coconut milk, alright?”
Ling Sheng extended a finger pitifully. “Can I have another piece? Just one. Really, just one.”
Jun Shiyan’s heart softened, and he nodded slightly. “Just one.”
Ling Sheng reached out excitedly to take the biggest piece, which was the one she had taken a liking to. It was as big as a palm, but before she could get it, the man snatched it away. He broke it into small pieces right in front of her, and she pointed at him angrily. “Jun Shiyan, you cheated!”
Jun Shiyan smiled and nodded. He did not deny it, but he took a look at her stomach and said in a low voice, “You still have to film.”
Ling Sheng lowered her eyes and saw her bulging stomach under her muslin dress. Her face withered instantly, and she let out an awkward cough. “You’re also like this when you’re full.”
